The Masters is a snooker tournament. It has been held every year since 1975. It is the second-oldest professional snooker tournament after the World Championship. With the UK Championship and the World Championship, it is part of the Triple Crown (snooker).[2] Although not a ranking event, it is regarded as one of the biggest events on the World Snooker Tour.[3]
